Solid Beverage: Core Application of Silica in Improving Reconstitution Stability

The solid beverage sector is a key application area for food-grade silica, whose core functions are to enhance product reconstitution performance and storage stability.


The solid beverage sector is a key application area for food-grade silica, whose core functions are to enhance product reconstitution performance and storage stability. Adding only 0.5% to instant coffee prevents caking and boosts dissolution uniformity to 95%. When incorporated into milk tea powder, it inhibits powder segregation (especially of non-dairy creamer) and preserves a silky, smooth mouthfeel. Shandong Zhonglian’s dedicated grade for solid beverages boasts a specific surface area of 200–300 m²/g and exceptional adsorption capacity. It effectively locks in flavor compounds, extends product shelf life to 12 months, and has established itself as a core functional additive in the supply chains of many leading emerging new-style tea drink brands.
